We are already looking ahead to the next academic year with children visiting their new shared areas and getting to know the teachers...Parents will also get the chance to learn about the next phase of their children’s journey at St Andrews International School Bangkok.
You will see in the Dates for Your Diary section below, that we have added two more dates - the Transition Meetings for parents of children entering Y1 next Academic Year, and those entering Y3.
These meetings are information sessions that we run annually for parents whose children are moving into a different Phase of the school. It gives parents the opportunity to find out about how things might differ in the next Phase and ask any questions.
However, the children are already one step ahead! Their current teachers are already taking them to visit the next year groups and giving them the chance to play in the shared areas and say hello to the teachers and TAs.
It will be a little while yet before we are able to confirm classes for next year but the children will be more than ready for the new challenges and experiences they have in store.
Mrs Meg held the first Nursery information meeting last week to explain the philosophy behind Nursery at St Andrews International School Bangkok. The meeting was well attended and gave parents the opportunity to meet each other and see the Nursery setting for themselves. We look forward to welcoming the children into school for their play afternoons.

With the goal of providing meaningful help to the flood victims in the northern regions of Thailand, our entire community at St Andrews Bangkok came together to raise funds and donations for the affected families. In the span of a few short weeks, added to donations of food and clothing, we managed to raise an astounding total of 386,676.50 THB in donation funds. To all students, teachers, parents, and staff who participated in our efforts and contributed to this cause—thank you!
Last Friday, the STA Primary campus was transformed into a celebration of all things maths! The day was packed with engaging, hands-on activities across all year groups, making maths truly come alive for our students.
Senior student at St Andrews Bangkok, Pun (Year 13), devises an innovative solution for effective waste management. Recently, he completed an ambitious project: an AI-powered waste sorting system. After much research and testing, he got the system to work and put the model to use in one of our rooms at school!
Physics students from St Andrews Bangkok made quite an impression at the Beamline for Schools (BL4S) competition and won the Best Outreach Award for their brilliant work. BL4S is a prestigious global physics contest organised by CERN (the European Laboratory for Particle Physics in Geneva, Switzerland) and DESY (the German Electron Synchrotron in Hamburg, Germany), inviting High School students worldwide to propose detailed experiments to be conducted at a particle accelerator beamline. While our students did not win the main prize of conducting their experiment in Geneva, they still stood out and were recognised from an entry of over 400 teams.
